Red frogs
Gourley gathered a group of young volunteers to provide chaplaincy support and used the Red Frogs confectionery as a conversation starter. Since then, the charity has expanded internationally to countries including New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.
During Schoolies week, the Red Frogs Crew also offers to walk intoxicated people home and provide other harm reduction services. The group has a strong presence during university orientation weeks, where they hand out university planners, donuts, icy poles, and, of course, Red Frogs.
The Red Frogs Crew has become an integral part of the university experience for many students, providing a positive peer presence and helping to build a sense of community. The sponsorship arrangement with Allen's Red Frogs has also allowed the charity to have a significant impact, with the company donating over 24 tonnes of the confectionery each year.

Rock candy
To make rock candy, you start by dissolving sugar in boiling water to form a sugar syrup. This syrup is then left to cool down slowly over several days, during which time large sugar crystals form. Rock candy requires a large number of sugar crystals, so more sugar is added than can dissolve in the water at room temperature—for example, three cups of sugar for one cup of water. As the solution cools, the rate of dissolving decreases and the rate of crystallisation increases, until they are equal. This is known as dynamic equilibrium, where the size of the crystals stays the same, but the sucrose molecules are constantly moving between the solution and the crystals.
The process of making rock candy is an example of the "sweet science" of candymaking, which is chemistry in action. The texture of candy is determined by the size of the sugar crystals, which can be manipulated by the length of time the syrup is left to cool and the way the syrup is handled during the cooling process. For example, fudge is made by continuously stirring the syrup to prevent the crystals from growing too big.
